Governor Ricardo Roselló had asked the power authority to make this announcement because the contract had become a "distraction" and that attention had to be refocused on restoring power. It was exclusively determined by the Puerto Rican government.

Ricardo Ramos, executive director of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, or PREPA, saidWhitefish would be paid to complete ongoing work on a transmission line.

"We will certainly finish any work that PREPA wants us to complete and stand by our commitments knowing that we made an important contribution to the restoration of the power grid since our arrival on the island on October 2".

Jaguars trade for Buffalo DT Marcell Dareus
They also shed the 2019 through 2021 years of Dareus' deal at cap numbers of $16.985 million, $16 million and $14.65 million. The big thing that was standing in the way between the Bills and a potential trade was Dareus' monstrous contract.

Just last week, the oversight board said it would use its existing authority to install its own emergency manager - dubbed chief transformation officer - to pay closer attention to the day-to-day operations of the utility. He added that significant work had already been completed, including a project that will soon lead to 500,000 people in San Juan getting electrical power. Ramos said it would take effect 30 days after that.

FEMA has raised concerns about how Whitefish got the deal and whether the contracted prices were reasonable.

Both Zinke and Techmanski have denied allegations that the Department of the Interior secretary had anything to do with the contract being awarded. PREPA also said that it didn't ask for mutual aid because it expected that reconstruction help the federal government wouldn't cost it anything.But now utility crews are en route from Florida and NY, which means PREPA may have to come up with money to pay for relief sooner than expected.

Democrats also have questioned the role of HBC Investments, a key financial backer of Whitefish.

"It is interfering with everything and it doesn't go towards the best interest of people of Puerto Rico", Gov. Rosselló said.

Thousands left homeless by the storm had no relief in sight, about 30 percent of normal power was being generated, few of the island's hospitals were functioning, and there were reports that available water supplies were contaminated, the experts said in a statement.
